[QUOTE="Glock 'em down, post: 2610414, member: 684"] I've got a hankerin' for a new blade and Spyderco is my favorite. :rubhands: I've got three different models that have caught my eye, but I can't decide on which one. :scratch: Can you guys help me out? The first one on my wish list is the Spyderco Manix 2 XL. [img]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/www.spyderco.com_pix_products_large_C95G2_L.jpg[/img] I really like the ball bearing lock of the Manix 2 XL and I also like the blade shape. A plus is the fact that it's an American made knife and not Jap. I also appreciate all the jimping that Spyderco has put into this knife, as well as the G10 scales. This is the biggest knife of the three and with my big ol' meathooks, I [I]really, probably [/I]should go with this one, but... :rolleyes2 Next up, the Spyderco Stretch. [img]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/www.spyderco.com_pix_products_large_C90BK_L.jpg[/img] I really, [I]REALLY[/I] like the blade on the Stretch. It just has a real business type of shape to it. The VG-10 is also a good all 'round blade material. Nothing real exotic but easy to take care of but still a decent performer and low maintenance. I think the Stretch has the finest curves of any other Spydie out there. And lastly is the Spyderco Native. [img]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/www.spyderco.com_pix_products_large_C41BK_L.jpg[/img] The Native is very easy on the eyes. I really appreciate its sleek lines along with that good ol' Made in America stamp on the blade. With a [I]teensy, weensy [/I]3 inch blade, the Native is the shortest of the four, but with it's deep finger choil you can really choke up on it and get some precise cutting done. I also like the way the clip mounts to the handle with it's single Chicago style of bolt over the three itsy-bitsy torx screws that strip out or work their way loose and fall out, lost forever. So how 'bout it. Is there one I'm missing out there that is comparable to these three? I would like to stay under a C note, so don't try to suggest the Military or Para Military, I just can't afford more than a hundred bucks on a blade. [/QUOTE]
